Having read countless web novels, Xanthia was well-acquainted with the unspoken rules of transmigration: fulfill the original soul's deepest desires and settle their lingering grievances. With the system as her ally, her confidence was unshakable.

  She quickly immersed herself in the memories of the original Xanthia—

  The young girl, also named Xanthia La Papadopoulos, came from a notably complex familia. Her father, Demetrios El Papadopoulos, was the youngest son of Nikos El Papadopoulos, a prominent business magnate in the province of Thessaloniki.

  Demetrios had an older brother, Andreas El Papadopoulos, and an older sister, Maria La Papadopoulos.

  As a child, Demetrios enjoyed significant favor, but as he grew older, his frivolous and hedonistic lifestyle led to increasing marginalization within the familia.

  Her mother, El La Fielso, came from humble beginnings and had once been a beloved singer in the entertainment industry, celebrated for her beauty and grace. After relentless pursuit by Demetrios, they eventually married, and their union brought forth a child.

  However, shortly after their marriage, and during El’s pregnancy, Demetrios reverted to his old ways, disregarding the sanctity of their union. El, frail in both body and spirit, endured his infidelity in silence, harboring quiet resentment until it consumed her. She eventually succumbed to illness, leaving behind a legacy of unspoken sorrow.

  Her final words to her daughter were, “A prudent heart keeps love at bay and avoid the folly of passion,” a sentiment that the original Xanthia took deeply to heart.

  The original Xanthia also vividly remembered her mother’s regret at abandoning her career for marriage.

  In truth, El was never accepted by the Papadopoulos familia due to her modest background and profession. She was not a particurly successful celebrity, and even if she had been, the role of a proper wife in a wealthy familia was never an easy one.

  El's death left an indelible mark on the original Xanthia, making her increasingly introverted and mencholic.

  What hurt the most was that shortly after her mother’s death, her father brought another woman into their home—a woman who bore him a son named Dionysios, a child Demetrios cherished immensely.

  What stung even more was that Demetrios’s father, who had never shown much respect for him, began to treat him differently, all thanks to Dionysios’s remarkable achievements.

  In stark contrast to the brilliant and charismatic Dionysios, the original Xanthia, bereft of her mother and rendered almost invisible, was naturally overlooked.

  The original Xanthia had become utterly disillusioned with the world after her mother’s death. She longed to sever ties with the Papadopoulos familia and live independently, yet she cked the means to support herself.

  Now, with the system-bound Xanthia occupying her body, it felt like a liberation.

  The system dutifully recorded her wishes on the task list:

  A prudent heart keeps love at bay.(By refraining from romantic entanglements, the "Wisdom Root" trait is continuously active.)

  Sever ties with her father, fulfill her mother’s dying wish, distance herself from the Papadopoulos familia, become independent, and achieve success.(Should she pursue a singing career, she will earn the attribute "Voice of Heaven.")

  After absorbing the original memories and understanding her wishes through the system, Xanthia realized that Wish 1 was practically a freebie, activating the "Wisdom Root" trait effortlessly.

  As someone who sought amusement, falling in love had little appeal. Surely, being a heartbreaker or mastering the art of toying with people’s emotions would be far more entertaining?

  Now that was true wisdom!

  Wish 2, however, required careful pnning.

  For a high school girl to achieve independence and establish a career was a daunting challenge. Even with the system, time was needed to develop her abilities.

  Currently, Xanthia lived in a small studio apartment near Thessaloniki First High School. The original Xanthia, being introverted and socially anxious, had avoided living in a dormitory.

  In this respect, she was overshadowed by her younger brother, Dionysios, who, despite being only a few months her junior, was outgoing and unafraid of hardships. He had chosen to live in the school dormitory.

  Moreover, Thessaloniki First High School, one of the most prestigious institutions in the province, admitted Dionysios based on his stelr academic performance, pcing him in Grade 10’s elite Css 1.

  By comparison, Xanthia, with her average grades, gained admission through her familia’s influence and was pced in Grade 10, Css 3—a standard css.

  Though her css was unremarkable, its proximity to the elite csses allowed it to share simir resources. The students here either had good fortune, slightly lower grades than those in the elite csses, or came from well-connected familias.

  Xanthia surveyed her small studio apartment and felt pleased with it.

  Although it didn’t reflect the image of a “wealthy young dy,” living off-campus meant she had all her free time after school to accumute happiness points.

  Regrettably, Thessaloniki First High School’s strict culture mandated evening self-study sessions; otherwise, she would have been even more content.

  It was now Sunday afternoon, and she would return to school on Monday.

  Xanthia resolved to make the most of the remaining time. She scanned the system’s task list for any simple tasks she could complete quickly.

  There were plenty of easy tasks, including repeatable ones such as "exercise," "enjoy a meal," and "read a book," each gradually enhancing her traits. However, acquiring specific traits required taking on more challenging tasks.

  She left her apartment and headed to the nearby Helena Pza for some diversion. Helena Real Estate was one of the Papadopoulos familia’s enterprises, with her grandfather, Nikos El Papadopoulos, as chairman and her grandmother, Nias La Papadopoulos.

  Upon entering the mall, she noticed a particurly challenging system task: Approach strangers and secure 100 Synomilía Social contacts.

  Completing this task would earn her the attribute "Social Butterfly" (white), which could be upgraded to "Social Master" (blue), and eventually to "Social Terrorist" (purple).

  The "Social Butterfly" attribute would allow her to quickly adapt to unfamiliar environments and foster a sense of camaraderie in interactions.

  The attribute intrigued Xanthia. In her previous life, she wasn’t as socially anxious as the original Xanthia, but she wasn’t a natural social butterfly either. She was open with friends but hesitant when it came to making new ones.

  She often envied those who could confidently approach attractive strangers, navigate unfamiliar settings with ease, and become the center of attention.

  As for "Social Terrorist," the name alone was enticing. If she wasn’t embarrassed, others would feel awkward—a true performance artist’s dream.

  Another even more demanding task caught her eye: Get approached by strangers 100 times.

  The reward included +3 to appearance, +3 to charm, and the "Social Butterfly" attribute. This attribute would boost her popurity, increase the likelihood of being approached by high-caliber individuals, and enhance her street appeal.

  Xanthia accepted both tasks and decided to summon her courage to tackle the first: approaching strangers.

  With the system supporting her, she felt emboldened. It was just like pying a game. In her previous life, she would never have dared to take the first step.
